Thrillist Salutes Stoli Originals

To garner praise, one's originality must be perfectly calibrated -- too meek and you won't stand out, too un-attuned to reality and you're that lady who is also a cat. See divine imagination executed flawlessly with the Stoli Originals Series

The vodka world's boldest pioneer has teamed up with Thrillist to bring you a four-part series on local innovators, figuring out just what inspires them, beyond that which inspires all of us, chocolate-covered pretzels. Basically, when Stoli asks "Would you have a drink with you?", these are the people with the right to say yes, even if modesty and the Raçlian monopoly on cloning prevent them from doing so

Diving headfirst into this deep blue sea of originality, Thrillist and Stoli salute Mitchell Frank: self-described ringmaster, not just because he loves trained lions, but because of the countless roles he juggles as one of LA's preeminent nightlife visionaries. The countless titles the genre-molding entrepreneur's held during the past 15 dizzying years include: event producer, music promoter, record company exec, nightclub owner, and operating partner of a famed East LA taqueria, because as the old adage goes, you're nobody until somebody eats your tacos

Feast your eyes on the opening quartet of profiles -- plus a sneak peek at the eventual full lineup -- at the Stoli Originals Headquarters, populated only by people who share the one Stoli trait even more important than being smoothly mixable into a Moscow Mule: straight-up fearlessness
